Hello

I hope someone can explain this to me.

I created an xhtml File, together with a css file. I used normal "p" tags.

After that, I converted it into an epub, with Calibre. Then I looked at the finished epub file and notices, that it changed some of my css. What surprised me most is: On all p-tags in my css, Calibre added "display: block". Same goes for the headings and div tags.

Why? Is there a good explaination, why I should use display:block on epub files? Is this related to Widows and Orphans (I hope you know what I mean) or is there another good reason why I should use it?

Thanks in advance for your help.
